ACYCLIC CYANOETHYLPYRAZOLO PYRIDONES AS JANUS KINASE INHIBITORS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein kinases are a group of enzymes that regulate the activity of their
target proteins
by the addition of phosphate groups to the protein substrate. Kinases play an
essential role in many
physiological processes including cell division, differentiation, cellular
homeostasis and signal
transduction. Kinases can be subdivided by their target into Serine/Threonine
kinases and Tyrosine
kinases. Tyrosine kinases are further subdivided into receptor tyrosine
kinases and non-receptor tyrosine
kinases. The mammalian Janus kinase (JAK) family members are non-receptor
tyrosine kinases.
The JAK family has four members; JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. JAK1, JAK2 and
TYK2 are universally expressed, whereas JAK3 expression is limited to
hematopoetic cells. The JAK
family is involved in intracellular signal transduction from >70 different
cytokines. Cytokines bind to
their cell surface receptors resulting in receptor dimerization and subsequent
activation/phosphorylation
of JAK tyrosine kinases. The JAKs are either constitutively associated with
the receptor or are recruited
upon cytokine binding. Specific tyrosine residues on the receptor are then
phosphorylated by activated
JAKs and serve as docking sites for STAT proteins. STATs are phosphorylated by
JAKs, dimerize, then
translocate to the nucleus where they bind specific DNA elements and activate
gene transcription. JAK1
signals in conjunction with all JAK isoforms in a cytokine dependent manner.
JAKs are essential for multiple physiological functions. This has been
demonstrated
using genetically engineered mouse models that are deficient in specific JAKs.
Jakl-/- mice die
perinatally, while Jak24- mice have deficiencies in erythropoesis and die
around day E 12. Jak34- mice are
viable, but have a SCID phenotype with deficiencies in T cells, B cells and NK
cells. TYK2-/- mice
exhibit features of hyper IgE syndrome. These phenotypes demonstrate the
essential and non-redundant
roles of JAK activity in vivo (K. Ghoreschi, A. Laurence, J. J. O'Shea,
Immunol. Rev. 228, 273 (2009)).
Furthermore, mutations in the JAK enzymes have been associated with diseases
in
humans. Inactivating mutations in JAK3 (or the cognate common gamma chain
cytokine receptor) cause
a severe SCID phenotype (J. J. O'Shea, M. Pesu, D. C. Borie, P. S. Changelian,
Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 3,
555 (2004)). Deletions of TYK2 result in hyper IgG syndrome and increased
infection risk (Y. Minegishi
et al., Immunity. 25, 745 (2006)). No inactivating mutations have been
reported for JAK1 or JAK2,
consistent with the data from mice that demonstrates that JAK1 and JAK2
deficient mice are not viable.
However, several mutations that result in constitutively active JAK2 have been
identified, resulting in
myeloproliferative diseases and confirming the central role of JAK2 in
hematopoesis (O. bdel-Wahab,
Cum Opin. Hematol. 18, 117 (2011)). JAK2 is the sole JAK family member
involved in signal
transduction of the critical hematopoetic cytokines IL-3, GMCSF, EPO and TPO.
The wealth of mouse and human genetic data demonstrating a central role for
JAK kinase activity in autoimmune disease, hematopoesis and oncology has been
supported by
the use of pan-JAK inhibitors in clinical trials for autoimmune diseases and
neoplasms (See K.

Kantarjian, J.
Cortes, S. Verstovsek, Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 10, 127 (2011)).
A considerable body of literature has accumulated that link the Jak/STAT
pathway to various diseases and disorders including hyperproliferative
disorders and cancer such
as leukemia and lymphomas, immunological and inflammatory disorders such as
transplant
rejection, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergies,
rheumatoid arthritis, type I
diabetes, amyotropic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis.

represented by "Et" or CH2CH3, propyl may be represented by "Pr" or CH2CH2CH3,
butyl may
be represented by "Bu" or CH2CH2CH2CH3 , etc. "C1_6 alkyl" (or "C1-C6 alkyl")
for example,
means linear or branched chain alkyl groups, including all isomers, having the
specified number
of carbon atoms. C1_6 alkyl includes all of the hexyl alkyl and pentyl alkyl
isomers as well as n-,
iso-, sec- and t-butyl, n- and isopropyl, ethyl and methyl. "Ci-4 alkyl" means
n-, iso-, sec- and t-
butyl, n- and isopropyl, ethyl and methyl.
The term "alkylene" refers to both branched- and straight-chain saturated
aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, including all isomers, having the specified
number of carbons, and
having two terminal end chain attachments. For illustration, the term
"unsubstituted A-
C4alkylene-B" represents A-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-B.

"Acyl" means a ¨C(0)R radical Where R is optionally substituted alkyl,
alkenyl,
cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl heteroaryl, etc.
"Acylamino" means a ¨NRR' radical where R is H, OH, or alkoxy and R' is acyl,
as defined herein.
The term "alkyl" refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may be
straight

The term "heteroalkyl" refers to an alkyl group where 1, 2, or 3 of the carbon

atoms is substituted by a heteroatom independently chosen from N, 0, or S.
"Alkenyl" refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing at least one
carbon-
carbon double bond and which may be straight or branched and having the
indicated number of
carbon atoms. Preferably alkenyl contains one carbon to carbon double bond,
and up to four
nonaromatic carbon-carbon double bonds may be present. Examples of alkenyl
groups include
ethenyl, propenyl, n-butenyl, 2-methyl-1-butenyl, 3-methylbut-2-enyl, n-
pentenyl, octenyl and
decenyl.
"Alkynyl" refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing at least one
carbon-carbon triple bond and which may be straight or branched and having the
indicated
number of carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of suitable alkynyl groups
include ethynyl,
propynyl, 2-butynyl and 3-methylbutynyl.
"Alkoxy" refers to an alkyl-0- group in which the alkyl group is as described
above. C1_6a1koxy, for example, includes methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy,
and the like.
"Alkoxyalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as described above in which one or more
(in particular 1 to 3) hydrogen atoms have been replaced by alkoxy groups.
Examples include

The term "Co" as employed in expressions such as "C0_6 alkyl" means a direct
covalent bond; or when the term appears at the terminus of a substituent, Co_6
alkyl means
hydrogen or C1-6alkyl. Similarly, when an integer defining the presence of a
certain number of
atoms in a group is equal to zero, it means that the atoms adjacent thereto
are connected directly
by a bond. For example, in the structure T , wherein s is an integer
equal to zero, 1 or
C),?2,
1
2, the structure is T when s is zero.
The term "C3_8 cycloalkyl" (or "C3-C8 cycloalkyl") means a cyclic ring of an

to C8 monocyclic,
saturated or unsaturated ring or (ii) a C7 to C12 bicyclic saturated or
unsaturated ring system.
Each ring in (ii) is either independent of, or fused to, the other ring, and
each ring is saturated or
unsaturated. The carbocycle may be attached to the rest of the molecule at any
carbon atom
which results in a stable compound. The fused bicyclic carbocycles are a
subset of the
carbocycles; i.e., the term "fused bicyclic carbocycle" generally refers to a
C7 to C10 bicyclic
ring system in which each ring is saturated or unsaturated and two adjacent
carbon atoms are
shared by each of the rings in the ring system. A fused bicyclic carbocycle in
which one ring is
saturated and the other is saturated is a saturated bicyclic ring system. A
fused bicyclic
carbocycle in which one ring is benzene and the other is saturated is an
unsaturated bicyclic ring
system. A fused bicyclic carbocycle in which one ring is benzene and the other
is unsaturated is
an unsaturated ring system. Saturated carbocyclic rings are also referred to
as cycloalkyl rings,
e.g., cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, etc. Unless otherwise noted, carbocycle is
unsubstituted or
substituted with C1_6 alkyl, C1_6 alkenyl, C1_6 alkynyl, aryl, halogen, NH2 or
OH. A subset of
the fused bicyclic unsaturated carbocycles are those bicyclic carbocycles in
which one ring is a
benzene ring and the other ring is saturated or unsaturated, with attachment
via any carbon atom
that results in a stable compound. Representative examples of this subset
include the following:
04, se 0* 00 00 O. OS. ON
, , , , , , ,
.
"Cyanoalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as described above in which one hydrogen

atom has been replaced by a cyano group. Examples include CH2CN, CH2CH2CN and
CH(CN)CH3.
"Cycloalkyl" means a carbocyclic ring system having 3 to 12 ring carbon atoms;

said ring system may be (a) a monocyclic saturated carbocycle optionally fused
to a benzene or a
partially unsaturated carbocycle, or (b) a bicyclic saturated carbocycle. For
a bicyclic system,
within either (a) or (b), the rings are fused across two adjacent ring carbon
atoms (e.g., decalin),
at one ring carbon atom (e.g., spiro[2.2]pentane), or are bridged groups
(e.g., norbornane).
Additional examples within the above meaning include, but are not limited to,
cyclopropane,

cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, perhydroindan, decalin,
spiro[4.5]decane,
bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and the like.
"Haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as described above wherein one or more
(in
particular 1 to 5) hydrogen atoms have been replaced by halogen atoms, with up
to complete
substitution of all hydrogen atoms with halo groups. C1_6ha1oa1ky1, for
example, includes -CF3,
-CF2CF3, CHFCH3, and the like.
"Heterocycle", "heterocyclic" or "heterocycly1" represents a monocyclic or
bicyclic 3-12 membered ring system in which at least one ring is non-aromatic
(saturated or
partially unsaturated) and containing at least one heteroatom selected from 0,
S and N. In a
bicyclic ring system, the second ring may be a heteroaryl, heterocycle or a
saturated, partially
unsaturated or aromatic carbocycle, and the point(s) of attachment to the rest
of the molecule
may be on either ring. For a bicyclic system,the rings may be fused across two
adjacent ring
atoms (e.g., quinoline), at one ring carbon atom (e.g., azaspiro[3.3]heptane),
or are bridged
groups (e.g. 2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane ). "Heterocycly1" therefore includes
heteroaryls, as well
as dihydro and tetrathydro analogs thereof Attachment of a heterocyclyl
substituent can occur
via a carbon atom or via a heteroatom.

ring may be a heteroaromatic or an aromatic, saturated, or partially
unsatuated carbocycle, and
the point(s) of attachment to the rest of the molecule may be on either ring.
In the case of
substituted heteroaryl rings containing at least one nitrogen atom (e.g.,
pyridine), such
substitutions can be those resulting in N-oxide formation. Examples of
heteroaryl include, but
are not limited to, furanyl, thienyl (or thiophenyl), pyrrolyl, imidazolyl,
pyrazolyl, oxazolyl,
thiazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl,

"Hydroxyalkyl" refers to an alkyl group as described above in which one or
more
(in particular 1 to 3) hydrogen atoms have been replaced by hydroxy groups.
Examples include
CH2OH, CH2CHOH and CHOHCH3.

"Alkylene," "alkenylene," "alkynylene," "cycloalkylene," "arylene,"
"heteroarylene," and "heterocyclylene" refer to a divalent radical obtained by
the removal of one
hydrogen atom from an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl,
and heterocyclyl
group, respectively, each of which is as defined above.
Unless expressly stated to the contrary, an "unsaturated" ring is a partially
or fully
unsaturated ring. For example, an "unsaturated monocyclic C6 carbocycle"
refers to
cyclohexene, cyclohexadiene, and benzene.
Unless expressly stated to the contrary, all ranges cited herein are
inclusive. For
example, a heterocycle described as containing from "1 to 4 heteroatoms" means
the heterocycle
can contain 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms.
When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or in any
formula depicting and describing compounds of the invention, its definition on
each occurrence
is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations
of substituents
and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable
compounds.
The term "sulfamoyl" is a suffix to denote radicals derived from sulfamide
such
as ¨SO2NH2, and -SO2N(RR1).
The term "substituted" (e.g., as in "aryl which is optionally substituted with
one
or more substituents ...") includes mono- and poly-substitution by a named
substituent to the
extent such single and multiple substitution (including multiple substitution
at the same site) is
chemically allowed.
The term "oxy" means an oxygen (0) atom. The term "thio" means a sulfur (S)
atom. The term "oxo" means "=0". The term "carbonyl" means "C=0."
When any variable (e.g., R2, R3, etc.) occurs more than one time in any
substituent or in formula I its definition in each occurrence is independent
of its definition at
every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables
are permissible only
if such combinations result in stable compounds.
Under standard nomenclature used throughout this disclosure, the terminal
portion of the designated side chain is described first, followed by the
adjacent functionality
toward the point of attachment. For example, a Ci_5 alkylcarbonylamino C1_6
alkyl substituent
0
is equivalent to -C1_6 alkyl-HN^C1_5 alkyl.
In choosing compounds of the present invention, one of ordinary skill in the
art
will recognize that the various substituents, i.e. R1, R2, R3, etc., are to be
chosen in conformity
with well-known principles of chemical structure connectivity.
Lines drawn into the ring systems from substituents indicate that the
indicated
bond can be attached to any of the substitutable ring atoms. If the ring
system is polycyclic, it is
intended that the bond be attached to any of the suitable carbon atoms on the
proximal ring only.
It is understood that substituents and substitution patterns on the compounds
of
the instant invention can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art to
provide compounds that

20
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493
PCT/CN2014/000299
are chemically stable and that can be readily synthesized by techniques known
in the art, as well
as those methods set forth below, from readily available starting materials.
If a substituent is
itself substituted with more than one group, it is understood that these
multiple groups can be on
the same carbon or on different carbons, so long as a stable structure
results. The phrase
"optionally substituted with one or more substituents" should be taken to be
equivalent to the
phrase "optionally substituted with at least one substituent" and in such
cases one embodiment
will have from zero to three substituents.
Structural representations of compounds having substituents terminating with a

methyl group may display the terminal methyl group either using the characters
"CH3", e.g. "-
CH3" or using a straight line representing the presence of the methyl group,
e.g. "¨ " , i.e.,
¨ci-13 and
have equivalent meanings.
For variable definitions containing terms having repeated terms, e.g.,
(CRiRi)r,
where r is the integer 2, Ri is a defined variable, and Ri is a defined
variable, the value of Ri
may differ in each instance in which it occurs, and the value of Ri may differ
in each instance in
which it occurs. For example, if Ri and Ri are independently selected from the
group consisting
of methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, then (CRiRj)2 can be
1
H3CH2C¨C¨CH3
H3CH2CH2CH2C¨C¨CH2CH2CH3

"Patient" includes both human and animals.
"Mammal" means humans and other mammalian animals.
"Therapeutically effective amount" means that amount of a drug or
pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a
tissue, a system,
animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical
doctor or other
clinician.
The term "treatment" or "treating" includes alleviating, ameliorating,
relieving or
otherwise reducing the signs and symptoms associated with a disease or
disorder.
The term "composition", as in pharmaceutical composition, is intended to
encompass a product comprising the active ingredient(s), and the inert
ingredient(s)
(pharmaceutically acceptable excipients) that make up the carrier, as well as
any product which
results, directly or indirectly, from combination, complexation or aggregation
of any two or more
of the ingredients, or from dissociation of one or more of the ingredients, or
from other types of
reactions or interactions of one or more of the ingredients. Accordingly, the
pharmaceutical
compositions of the present invention encompass any composition made by
admixing a
compound of formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The term "optionally substituted" means "unsubstituted or substituted," and
therefore, the generic structural formulas described herein encompasses
compounds containing
the specified optional substituent as well as compounds that do not contain
the optional
substituent.
Each variable is independently defined each time it occurs within the generic
structural formula definitions. For example, when there is more than one
substituent for
aryl/heteroaryl, each substituent is independently selected at each
occurrence, and each
substituent can be the same or different from the other(s). As another
example, for the
group -(CR3R3)2-, each occurrence of the two R3 groups may be the same or
different. As used
herein, unless explicitly stated to the contrary, each reference to a specific
compound of the
present invention or a generic formula of compounds of the present invention
is intended to
include the compound(s) as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof

Optical Isomers - Diastereomers - Geometric Isomers ¨ Tautomers
Compounds of formula I contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus
occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric
mixtures and
individual diastereomers. The present invention is meant to comprehend all
such isomeric forms
of the compounds of formula I, either as single species or mixtures thereof.
Some of the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds, and
unless specified otherwise, are meant to include both E and Z geometric
isomers.
Some of the compounds described herein may exist with different points of
attachment of hydrogen, referred to as tautomers. Such an example may be a
ketone and its enol
form known as keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixture
thereof are
encompassed with compounds of formula I.
Specific embodiments of the present invention include a compound which is
selected from the group consisting of the subject compounds of the Examples
herein or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The compounds of the present invention may contain one or more asymmetric
centers and can thus occur as "stereoisomers" including racemates and racemic
mixtures,
enantiomeric mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures and
individual diastereomers.
Additional asymmetric centers may be present depending upon the nature of the
various
substituents on the molecule. Each such asymmetric center will independently
produce two
optical isomers and it is intended that all of the possible optical isomers
and diastereomers in
mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds are included within the
scope of this
invention. The present invention is meant to comprehend all such isomeric
forms of these
compounds. When bonds to the chiral carbon are depicted as straight lines in
the Formulas of
the invention, it is understood that both the (R) and (S) configurations of
the chiral carbon, and
hence both enantiomers and mixtures thereof, are embraced within the Formula.
For example,
Formula I shows the structure of the class of compounds without specific
stereochemistry.
When the compounds of the present invention contain one chiral center, the
term "stereoisomer"
includes both enantiomers and mixtures of enantiomers, such as the specific
50:50 mixture
referred to as racemic mixtures.
The compounds of Formula (I) may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and,
therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all
stereoisomeric forms of
the compounds of Formula (I) as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic
mixtures, form part
of the present invention. In addition, the present invention embraces all
geometric and positional
isomers. For example, if a compound of Formula (I) incorporates a double bond
or a fused ring,
both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the
scope of the invention.
Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers
on
the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to
those skilled in the art,
such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.
Enantiomers can be
separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture
by reaction with

28
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493
PCT/CN2014/000299
an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a
chiral alcohol or
Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g.,
hydrolyzing) the
individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Also, some of
the compounds
of Formula (I) may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are
considered as part of this
invention. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of chiral HPLC column.
It is also possible that the compounds of Formula (I) may exist in different
tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the
invention. Also, for
example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included
in the invention.
All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the
like)
of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates, esters and
prodrugs of the
compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as
those which may
exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including
enantiomeric forms (which
may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms,
atropisomers, and
diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this invention, as
are positional
isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyl and 3-pyridy1). (For example, if a
compound of
Formula (I) incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and
trans-forms, as well as
mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the invention. Also, for example,
all keto-enol and
imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the invention.)
Individual stereoisomers
of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of
other isomers, or
may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other
selected, stereoisomers.
The chiral centers of the present invention can have the S or R configuration
as defined by the
IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms "salt", "solvate", "ester",
"prodrug" and
the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate, ester and prodrug
of enantiomers,
stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, positional isomers, racemates or prodrugs
of the inventive
compounds.
In the present application when a particular stereomeric compound is named
using an "and" in the stereomeric designation, the "and" indicates a racemic
mixture of the
enantiomers. That is, the individual enantiomers were not individually
isolated.
When the stereomeric nomenclature includes "or", for example, (3R or S)-3- {3-
[(1,1-dioxido-2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophen-5-yl)amino]-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-
pyrazolo[4,3-
c]pyridin-1-ylIbutanenitrile, the "or" indicates that chiral resolution of
racemate into individual
enantiomers was accomplished but the actual optical activity of the specific
enantiomer was not
nessissarily determined.
The independent syntheses of these diastereomers or their chromatographic
separations may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of
the methodology
disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the x-
ray
crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are
derivatized, if
necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute
configuration. If
desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the
individual enantiomers

29
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493
PCT/CN2014/000299
are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the
art, such as the
coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure
compound to form a
diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers
by standard
methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling
reaction is often the
formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The
diasteromeric derivatives
may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral
residue. The
racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by
chromatographic methods
utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.
Alternatively, any
enantiomer of a compound can be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using
optically pure
starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in
the art.

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared from
pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases including inorganic bases and
organic bases. Salts

Labelled Compounds
In the compounds of generic Formula I, the atoms may exhibit their natural
isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched
in a particular
isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number
different from the
atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present
invention is meant to
include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of generic Formula
I. For example,
different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium
(2H). Protium is
the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may
afford certain
therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing
dosage requirements, or
may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological
samples.
Isotopically-enriched compounds within generic Formula I can be prepared
without undue
experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the
art or by
processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein
using appropriate
isotopically-enriched reagents and/or intermediates.

Dose Ranges
The magnitude of prophylactic or therapeutic dose of a compound of formula I
will, of course, vary with the nature and the severity of the condition to be
treated and with the
particular compound of formula I and its route of administration. It will also
vary according to a
variety of factors including the age, weight, general health, sex, diet, time
of administration, rate
of excretion, drug combination and response of the individual patient. In
general, the daily dose
from about 0.001 mg to about 100 mg per kg body weight of a mammal, preferably
0.01 mg to
about 10 mg per kg. On the other hand, it may be necessary to use dosages
outside these limits
in some cases.
The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier
materials
to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and
the particular

PCT/CN2014/000299
Pharmaceutical Compositions
Another aspect of the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions
comprising a compound of formula I with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
For the
treatment of any of the prostanoid mediated diseases compounds of formula I
may be
administered orally, by inhalation spray, topically, parenterally or rectally
in dosage unit
formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers, adjuvants
and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous
injections, intravenous,
intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques. In addition to
the treatment of
warm-blooded animals such as mice, rats, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, cats,
etc., the compound of
the invention is effective in the treatment of humans.
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a
form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges,
aqueous or oily suspensions,
dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups
or elixirs.
Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method
known to the art
for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may
contain one or
more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring
agents, coloring
agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and
palatable
preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-
toxic pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These
excipients may be
for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate,
lactose, calcium
phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for
example, corn starch,
or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and
lubricating agents, for
example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated
or they may be
coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the
gastrointestinal tract
and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a
time delay material
such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may
also be coated
by the technique described in the U.S. Patent 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and
4,265,874 to form
osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules
wherein
the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example,
calcium carbonate,
calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active
ingredients is mixed
with water-miscible solvents such as propylene glycol, PEGs and ethanol, or an
oil medium, for
example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with excipients
suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are
suspending agents, for
example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose,
sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia;
dispersing or wetting
agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or
condensation products
of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate,
or condensation

products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example
heptadecaethylene-
oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters
derived from fatty
acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or
condensation products of
ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol
anhydrides, for example
polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one
or more
preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more
coloring agents,
one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as
sucrose, saccharin or
aspartame.
Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a
vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil,
or in mineral oil such
as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for
example beeswax,
hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth
above, and flavoring
agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These
compositions may be
preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous
suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture
with a dispersing
or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable
dispersing or
wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already
mentioned above.
Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents,
may also be
present.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of an

oil-in-water emulsion. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example
olive oil or arachis oil,
or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable
emulsifying agents
may be naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and
esters or partial
esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan
monooleate, and
condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for
example
polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening
and
flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example
glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also
contain a demulcent,
a preservative, and flavoring and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical
compositions may be in
the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This
suspension may be
formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or
wetting agents and
suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable
preparation may
also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic
parenterally-acceptable diluent
or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Among the acceptable
vehicles and
solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium
chloride solution.
Cosolvents such as ethanol, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols may also
be used. In
addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or
suspending medium. For

35
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493
PCT/CN2014/000299
this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or
diglycerides. In
addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of
injectables.
Dosage forms for inhaled administration may conveniently be formulated as
aerosols or dry powders. For compositions suitable and/or adapted for inhaled
administration, it
is preferred that the active substance is in a particle-size-reduced form, and
more preferably the
size-reduced form is obtained or obtainable by micronization.
In one embodiment the medicinal preparation is adapted for use with a
pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) which releases a metered dose of
medicine upon each
actuation. The formulation for pMDIs can be in the form of solutions or
suspensions in
halogenated hydrocarbon propellants. The type of propellant being used in
pMDIs is being
shifted to hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs), also known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
In particular,
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA 134a) and 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFA
227) are used
in several currently marketed pharmaceutical inhalation products. The
composition may include
other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for inhalation use such as
ethanol, oleic acid,
polyvinylpyrrolidone and the like.
Pressurized MDIs typically have two components. Firstly, there is a canister
component in which the drug particles are stored under pressure in a
suspension or solution form.
Secondly, there is a receptacle component used to hold and actuate the
canister. Typically, a
canister will contain multiple doses of the formulation, although it is
possible to have single dose
canisters as well. The canister component typically includes a valve outlet
from which the
contents of the canister can be discharged. Aerosol medication is dispensed
from the pMDI by
applying a force on the canister component to push it into the receptacle
component thereby
opening the valve outlet and causing the medication particles to be conveyed
from the valve
outlet through the receptacle component and discharged from an outlet of the
receptacle. Upon
discharge from the canister, the medication particles are "atomized", forming
an aerosol. It is
intended that the patient coordinate the discharge of aerosolized medication
with his or her
inhalation, so that the medication particles are entrained in the patient's
aspiratory flow and
conveyed to the lungs. Typically, pMDIs use propellants to pressurize the
contents of the
canister and to propel the medication particles out of the outlet of the
receptacle component. In
pMDIs, the formulation is provided in a liquid or suspension form, and resides
within the
container along with the propellant. The propellant can take a variety of
forms. For example,
the propellant can comprise a compressed gas or liquefied gas.
In another embodiment the medicinal preparation is adapted for use with a dry
powder inhaler (DPI). The inhalation composition suitable for use in DPIs
typically comprises
particles of the active ingredient and particles of a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier. The
particle size of the active material may vary from about 0.1 um to about 10
um; however, for
effective delivery to the distal lung, at least 95 percent of the active agent
particles are 5 um or
smaller. Each of the active agent can be present in a concentration of 0.01 -
99%. Typically

36
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493
PCT/CN2014/000299
however, each of the active agents is present in a concentration of about 0.05
to 50%, more
typically about 0.2 - 20% of the total weight of the composition.
As noted above, in addition to the active ingredients, the inhalable powder
preferably includes pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which may be composed
of any
pharmacologically inert material or combination of materials which is
acceptable for inhalation.
Advantageously, the carrier particles are composed of one or more crystalline
sugars; the carrier
particles may be composed of one or more sugar alcohols or polyols.
Preferably, the carrier
particles are particles of dextrose or lactose, especially lactose. In
embodiments of the present
invention which utilize conventional dry powder inhalers, such as the
HandihalerTM, RotohalerTM,
DiskhalerTM, TwisthalerTm and TurbohalerTm, the particle size of the carrier
particles may range
from about 10 microns to about 1000 microns. In certain of these embodiments,
the particle size
of the carrier particles may range from about 20 microns to about 120 microns.
In certain other
embodiments, the size of at least 90% by weight of the carrier particles is
less than 1000 microns
and preferably lies between 60 microns and 1000 microns. The relatively large
size of these
carrier particles gives good flow and entrainment characteristics. Where
present, the amount of
carrier particles will generally be up to 95%, for example, up to 90%,
advantageously up to 80%
and preferably up to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the powder.
The amount of any
fine excipient material, if present, may be up to 50% and advantageously up to
30%, especially
up to 20%, by weight, based on the total weight of the powder. The powder may
optionally
contain a performance modifier such as L-leucine or another amino acid, and/or
metals salts of
stearic acid such as magnesium or calcium stearate.
Compounds of formula I may also be administered in the form of suppositories
for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by
mixing the drug
with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ambient
temperatures but liquid at the
rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug.
Such materials are
cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
For topical use, creams, ointments, gels, solutions or suspensions, etc.,
containing
the compound of formula I are employed. (For purposes of this application,
topical application
shall include mouth washes and gargles.) Topical formulations may generally be
comprised of a
pharmaceutical carrier, cosolvent, emulsifier, penetration enhancer,
preservative system, and
emollient.

METHODS OF SYNTHESIS
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the
following general schemes using appropriate materials, and are further
exemplified by the
subsequent specific examples. The compounds illustrated in the examples are
not to be
construed as forming the only genus that is considered as the invention. The
illustrative
Examples below, therefore, are not limited by the compounds listed or by any
particular
substituents employed for illustrative purposes. Substituent numbering as
shown in the schemes
does not necessarily correlate to that used in the claims and often, for
clarity, a single substituent
is shown attached to the compound where multiple substituents are allowed
under the definitions
of the instant invention herein above.
Those skilled in the art will readily understand that known variations of the
conditions and processes of the following preparative procedures can be used
to prepare these
compounds. The invention will now be illustrated in the following non-limiting
Examples in
which, unless otherwise stated:
All reactions were stirred (mechanically, stir bar/stir plate, or shaken) and
conducted under an
inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon unless specifically stated otherwise.
All starting materials used to prepare the intermediates and final compounds
described herein
were obtained from commercial vendors, and were used as is upon receipt.
All temperatures are degrees Celsius ( C) unless otherwise noted.
Ambient temperature is 15-25 C.
Most compounds were purified by reverse-phase preparative HPLC, MPLC on silica
gel,
recrystallization and/or swish (suspension in a solvent followed by filtration
of the solid).
The course of the reactions was followed by thin layer chromatography (TLC)
and/or LCMS
and/or NMR and reaction times are given for illustration only.
All end products were analyzed by NMR and LCMS. Intermediates were analyzed by
NMR
and/or TLC and/or LCMS.
Method 1
General procedures to prepare intermediates of the instant invention are
described
in Scheme 1. Using standard enolization conditions, such as KOt-Bu or
TEA/LiBr, in a suitable
solvent, such as THF, PhMe, at a temperature between 0 C and room temperature
aldehyde 1A
can undergo olefination to yield a,13-unsaturated nitrile 1B. Using an
appropriate base, such as
DBU, in a suitable solvent, such as MeCN, Et0H, n-BuOH or tert-BuOH, at a
temperature
between 25-110 C either protected pyrazolopyridone 1C (PG = a suitable
protecting group) can
undergo conjugate addition to optionally substituted nitriles 1B to yield
adduct 1D, in racemic
form. The stereoisomers of intermediate 1D can be separated into its
respective individual
optical isomers using the appropriate chromatographic method (achiral and/or
chiral).
Intermediate 1D is cross coupled to substituted aryl and heteroaryl halides 1E
using an
appropriate catalytic palladium/ligand system, such as Pd2(dba)3 or
Pd2(dba)3=CHC13, and 2-di-

42
CA 02901770 2015-08-19
WO 2014/146493 PCT/CN2014/000299
tert-butylphosphino-2' ,4' ,6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (t-Bu XPhos) or di-tert-
butyl[3,4,5,6-
tetramethy1-2',4',6'-tri(propan-2-y1)biphenyl-2-yl]phosphane (Me4 13u-XPhos),
or 2-
dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos). Typical
conditions employ 1-2
equivalents of the aryl/heteroaryl halide relative to the pyrazolopyrimidine
with 10-25% Pd
precatalyst loading, using an approximate Pd:ligand ratio of 1:2 to 1:2.5.
Typically, the cross
coupling is carried out using either 2-propanol or t-amyl alcohol solvents,
and between 1-3.1
equivalents of KOAc or K3PO4 base. Reactions were typically carried out
between 65-89 C, to
yield intermediates 1F of the instant invention. Intermediates 1F can be
deprotected using either
hydrogenolysis conditions (H2 gas, Pd/C, in a suitable solvent such as Et0Ac,
Et0H, Me0H, or
using combinations of solvents thereof), or promoted by a suitable acid to
afford Examples 1G
of the instant invention.

(Invitrogen JAK1 #M4290, JAK2 #M4290, JAK3 #M4290, Tyk2 #M4290) in an HTRF
format
biochemical assay. The reactions employed a common peptide substrate, LCB-
EQEDEPEGDYFEWLW-NH2 (in-house). The basic assay protocol is as follows: First,
250 nL
of diluted compounds in DMSO were dispensed into the wells of a dry 384-well
Black plate
(Greiner #781076) using a Labcyte Echo 555 acoustic dispenser. Subsequent
reagent additions
employed an Agilent Bravo. Next, 18 iut of 1.11X enzyme and 1.11X substrate in
1X assay
buffer (Invitrogen kinase buffer # PV3189, 2 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA) were added to
the wells
and shaken and then preincubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow
compound
binding to equilibrate. After equilibration, 2 iut of 10X ATP in lx assay
buffer was added to
initiate the kinase reaction and the plates were shaken and then incubated at
room temperature
for 120 minutes. At the end of the incubation, 20 iut of 2X stop buffer
(streptavidin-Dylight 650
(Thermo #84547B/100mL), Eu-tagged pY20 antibody (Perkin Elmer #AD0067), EDTA,
HEPES,
and Triton) was added to quench the reaction. Plates were shaken and
centrifuged and then
incubated 60 minutes at room temperature and then read on a Perkin Elmer
Envision (?ex = 337
nm, kern = 665 and 615 nm, TRF delay time = 20 s). HTRF signal = 10,000 * 665
nm reading /
615 nm reading. After normalization to untreated controls, the percent
inhibition of the HTRF
signal at each compound concentration was calculated. The plot of percent
inhibition versus the
log of compound concentration was fit with a 4-parameter dose response
equation to calculate
IC50 values.
Final reaction conditions were:
